Designers of Building Block, a leather bag company founded by Kimberly and Nancy Wu of Los Angeles, reflect timelessness in their S/S 2013 collection. The construction of the bags of leather and their accessories are honest and simple, yet they look like they’re built to last.

Its focus moves freely in between luxury and industrial design where utilitarian materials and processes translate into minimalist forms. With the intent of magnifying essentials and editing out excess, Building Block finds continual inspiration in returning back to square one

Whether it is in the Business, Rectangle or Dice style, what is really appealing to me besides the minimalism is the versatility of looking formal and professional while being relaxed at the same time.
